Custom apps
Software that fits how you work.
Software shaped around how your business actually runs: portals for your clients, tools for your team, and quoting systems that use your own rules, all connected to the systems you already have.
From our own work
Our own client portal
A secure workspace where clients share examples, confirm how their company works and sign off on the plan, which we are building for our own engagements.
Read the exampleExample: on a fictional job, a technician adds three photos, builds a $1,820 quote from the price book, and the customer signs on the phone. The invoice is paid on site, and the office screen updates on its own: the job is closed, the next job is at 2:30 pm, and 3.5 hours are logged without a timesheet.
What we build
What it looks like in your business.
Client portals
A secure place for clients to share files, follow progress and sign off, under your name.
Internal tools
The spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch, replaced by a tool built for the job.
Quoting and pricing
Your rules and your price lists, and a quote out the door in minutes rather than days.
Ready for the phone
Works on a phone in a truck as well as on the desk in the office.
How it works
How we build it with you.
- 01Watch the workWe start with the people who do the job today, and map what they do, the rules they follow and where the time goes.
- 02Design it with themScreens are sketched and tried with your team before anything is built, so the first version already fits.
- 03Build in small releasesYou get working pieces to use and react to as we go, rather than one big reveal at the end.
- 04Hand it overDocumentation, training and a walkthrough, so your team can run it, with or without us.
Is it for you?
You might need this if…
- A spreadsheet runs a part of the business you cannot afford to lose.
- Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way instead of yours.
- Clients email files back and forth to find out where things stand.
Where it helps
Who we build it for.
Common questions
What people ask us first.
- Why not buy off-the-shelf software?
- Often you should, and we will tell you so. Custom software makes sense when the way you work is part of your edge, or when off-the-shelf tools force workarounds that cost more than building.
- Will it work with what we already use?
- Yes. We connect it to your accounting, CRM, email and the other systems you rely on, so it fits into the day rather than adding another login.
- What happens when the project ends?
- The system, its data and its documentation are handed over to you, so you are never locked in. Ongoing support is there if you want it.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes. Everything we build works on a phone as well as on a desktop, because a lot of work happens away from a desk.
